Cruise ship transfers?

[shoegal24]

I am traveling with my 4 year old on the Mariner in October and I'd rather not have to bring his car seat for a taxi.

 

How are the Royal Caribbean transfers to / from ship? Are they on a big coach bus, or is it a regular van that I would need a car seat for anyway?

 

I feel comfortable without his car seat on a big bus, but I wouldn't feel comfortable with him in a van without his car seat booster.

 

Ship leaves from Miami.

 

Thanks!

They use the big coach buses.

It really depends on when you are getting to the airport. If you are the only people arriving within a couple hour window they could even send you to the ship in a car. Usually it is a bus, but you might wait an hour or more for several flights to arrive.

 

Ship to airport will always be big bus.

Not usually a fan of ship transfers...but one cruise itinerary when traveling with our toddler grandson the ship (large bus) was the better option in this case.
